The Mavis & Ephraim Hawthorne Foundation was established in 2005 by their children, Founders of Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery and Grill. Golden Krust’s commitment to the community since its inception in 1989 is indicative of its many contributions to multiple programs and charities throughout the United States and the islands of the Caribbean. As the company grew into an international institution and the needs of its loyal customer base became more visible, the need for a more structured method to participate and conduct services was unmistakable.

The Mavis & Ephraim Hawthorne Foundation is committed to:

• Develop a constituency to support the well being or betterment of the community-at-large through scholarships, social services and wellness programs and activities.
• Develop and implement programs and services.
• Influence the development, adoption and implementation of specific core curriculum at secondary and tertiary institutions.
• Achieve economic viability that is grounded in a diversified funding base.
